The real initial development of tourism, and especially national tourism could easily be linked to the development of the railroads. This industry being almost a completely new economic avenue, would transform how people thought of travel, previously thought of as a necessity to relocation, now it could be a temporary extended visit to those who had resulted before or to see places that had only been read about in books up to this point.

Additionally the agricultural composition of many of the states local markets was able to diversify and intensify, developing whole systems of distribution that had not been possible before. http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=101266765
